I don't believe in coincidences and this is beyond ridiculous now. Something wrong with the way they are training.
Leko has been fine for ages though, even twisted his ankle last week but carried on. Players are being overused at the moment which probably doesn't help.
It seems insane to get yet another knee injury, but it seemed like he injured himself colliding with some shite angled advertising hoarding which is too close to the playing area at that shithole.
I think it's just bad luck. Less sure that the Williams setback is. And is it 100% fact that Field did himself in at West Brom, and not back with us?

At least Lyle lasted the full 95.
As 100 % as we can know. Bowyer said that it was his last session before he was released by WBA to come down to us.
What can you say? This is just absolutely unreal. God, we need the takeover and investment so bad for January. Our luck with these injuries, honestly, I don’t know how it could get any worse.

Was starting to think about this the other day. Shortly before Robinson left we had a similar injury crisis, and everyone put it down to training and conditioning. We had a much smaller squad that season.

Without a doubt I think this plays a role, at least for some. Leko would be a prime candidate. I was surprised he was started with Bonne and Taylor. Given how much he and Bonne have played of late, they both must be huge injury risks.
But when you look at some of the others, Amos hadn't played. Williams was playing once a week. Field about the same. Ozzie had barely been playing.
It's hard to find a through line. Some of it is definitely bad luck. Some of it contact injuries. But a long of tendon and long muscle injuries as well.
Do we have an idea on when others will be back: Oztumer, JFC, Chuks (ever?), Hemed, Cullen
JFC: weeks, I think like two months. Cullen, would be surprised if we see him again this season, but my guess would be March/Aprile. Oztumer, no clue. Chuks, no clue. Hemed it sounded like he was a couple weeks away a couple weeks ago, but haven't heard anything since. Think Bowyer said he was outside running. Also, no idea on Kayal, who has gone back to Brighton.

Saw a photo online a couple of days ago with someone who'd gone to the training session at the Valley. Aneke and Hemed were both in the photo, so can't be far off a return.
Kayal i'm sure we'll terminate his loan and look to get someone else in. Can't gamble on him ever being fully fit and at the salary he must be on it's a waste.
Oztumer not as long. Not too long after the new year hopefully.
Lapslie just after the new year, this has been an odd one.
Not a clue on Forster-Caskey as I was told a good month ago he’d be back in training by now.
Aneke they are going to have to make sure he gets right. It’s hard when he passes all the tests, running outside etc. But when he joins in he breaks down. They are going to be ultra careful with him.
Williams done a grade one hamstring tear on Tuesday 10th, as far as I know. That’s two weeks plus the training. Hopefully back for the very beginning of new year.
Hemed is closer than people think. He needs to join in properly now before anyone can really be sure.
Field it looks like bad news, but nothing confirmed, same as Leko. Both knee injuries, both non contact, both so unlucky.
Page is a mystery, I’ve given up asking and working that one out.
Amos had to have surgery, went well but not a clue on timeframe. I was hopeful/expecting he’d be back by now but that was before the op.
Kayal, I think he’s already gone, I don’t see him here or playing for us again.
Think that’s everyone? Can’t be sure. That’s 12 players though, and I don’t know how you can criticise the medical team on this when you actually look and think about the injuries they’ve sustained.
So if they are as bad as they sound, then can we assume that we'll never see Leko or Field for us again? If they're going to be out for 2-3 months (just guessing here) then we may as well terminate their loans and get someone else in. Are we allowed to do that?

Theres no point us keeping another team's injured players on loan. If we can send back 3 of the current loans and get replacements in I'd be happy. Shame as on paper Kayal, Field and Leko could have all been decent if fit.

something am doesn’t see quite right but I’m sure ibborg is looking into it as per.

“I just hope we don’t pick up any more. If we started losing more then we’re in real trouble.”
